ECW tended to do Three Way Dance matches as elimination, but I don't think there's anything set in stone about it. I also don't think "Triple Threat matches are no DQ" was really a thing when they were first invented, just that someone pointed out that they weren't sure how a DQ finish would work in one, so WWE opted to make them no DQ. They certainly never use to hammer the point home, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Chris B Posted November 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2019 The whole thing about titles not changing hands on DQ or Count-Out being down to genuine double-crosses back in the day is interesting. Basically, a double-cross involving either of those was easier than actually pinning someone who shouldn't have been pinned. But you could fake a DQ/Count-out. Admittedly, this is a Cornette story I've not looked further into, but it sounded about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCW used to do them up until the mid-90's as far as I know. "Three Way Dance" was coined in ECW from what I remember. I didn't know about these until I saw one at a premier show between Joel Redman and 2 others which I can't recall. Really good match and the different concept worked fantastically in my opinion. I didn't know how the count for a rope break was up to 5 until much later into watching, always assumed it was 3 or possibly 10. Another one slighty off the topic was that Ric Flair had brought the big gold belt with him in 91. Although i'd gone back and tape traded my way through plenty of the 90's by 2004 it wasn't until I saw the photo in his biography of him in a WWF ring with the belt that I knew anything about it.

King Mal the Glorious Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 That's what I was thinking but I thought Seven/Severn was grasping at straws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, this is a Cornette story I've not looked further into, but it sounded about right. Yeah - there's a story from the early 20th century of a wrestler, while in a hold, biting his own forearm, then showing it to the referee to demonstrate that he'd been bitten, blaming the champion to earn the win. It might be apocryphal, but it was written about as fact in the mid-'30s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord-Mountevans Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I always had my suspicions, but it took me many years to realise the scale & magnitude of what a shitty business wrestling is & how massively outnumbered good people are to scumbags 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Perhaps the WWE should take a leaf from his book, and rename Cameron Grimes to the more appealing Southern Water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
